End Hostile Architecture: Prioritise Housing Justice
We urge the UK Government to implement policies and regulations that prioritise inclusive urban design practices, eradicate hostile architecture, and allocate resources towards initiatives that provide housing, support services, and infrastructure for homeless individuals. It's time to end systemic inequality and promote housing justice for all.
Why is this important?
Hostile architecture perpetuates systemic inequality by excluding and marginalising homeless individuals from public spaces, reinforcing stigma, and violating basic human rights. It's a manifestation of a larger issue of homelessness and housing insecurity that affects vulnerable populations worldwide. By advocating for compassionate solutions and inclusive urban design, we can create communities where everyone is valued and respected, regardless of their housing status. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who are most in need.
